For this episode of The Buzz, moderator Rick Mitchell asks two critics a generation apart, Bob Blumenthal and Hannah Edgar, where all the critics have gone.There’s more opinion about music than ever, and fewer staff jobs and outlets to back the people writing it. Bob and Hannah talk about how writers break in now, why younger critics ignore genre lines, and what mentorship gave each of them, from the Smithsonian seminars of the 1970s to the Rubin Institute for Music Criticism. They also take up the JJA’s new Arnold J. Smith seminars and producer Orrin Keepnews’s charge that jazz criticism is “a bad idea poorly executed.”Buzzworthy NotesGuest & HostRick Mitchell: moderator; producer of the syndicated radio show Jazz in the New MillenniumHannah Edgar: Chicago-based critic, writer, and radio producerBob Blumenthal: JJA board member and Book Committee chairLawrence Peryer: managing editor of The BuzzDiscussed“How Music Criticism Lost Its Edge”: Kelefa Sanneh, The New Yorker, 2025; the article Hannah citesTone Glow: experimental music publication Hannah writes forLeft on Reed: Jacob Reed’s SubstackInternational Anthem: Chicago label Hannah names as a model for genre-porous jazzMark Swed: retired Los Angeles Times classical critic, not being replacedAlex Ross: New Yorker critic stepping back from dedicated classical coverageClaudia Cassidy: longtime Chicago Tribune critic; subject of Hannah’s undergraduate thesisRubin Institute for Music Criticism: the program Hannah attended in 2018Gary Giddins: critic who was Bob’s peer at the Smithsonian seminars and later Hannah’s teacher at the Rubin InstituteJazzmeia Horn: the SFJAZZ performance Hannah reviewed at the Rubin InstituteMartin Williams, Dan Morgenstern, and Albert Murray: senior writers at the 1970s Smithsonian seminarsBranford Marsalis: “Jazz without apologies”Orrin Keepnews: producer behind the “bad idea poorly executed” line“We Should Talk About Music”: Matthew Shipp and Ethan Iverson on Writing as Practice: Bob’s earlier Buzz episodeMcCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones: Bob’s example of spreading the creditArnold J.
